The Boeing 737-800 is the newest aircraft type to be introduced to the Jet2.com fleet.
Based at Manchester Airport, our initial two Boeing 737-800 aircraft
were introduced to service on our scheduled network prior to the start
of the summer 2011 season. Seating 189 passengers, the aircraft have
entered service with Jet2.com's unique, modern
and stylish interiors including the unique Acro designed seats which
generate higher levels of comfort than most other equivalent aircraft
seats.
The Boeing 737-800 is part of the current family of 'New Generation'
Boeing 737s which form the bulk of new aircraft rolling off the
production line at Boeing's Seattle facilities in the USA. To date, more
than 3,600 Boeing 737 NG's are in service worldwide.
The Boeing 737-800 is very different to its cousin the Boeing 737-300, which remains the mainstay of the Jet2.com
fleet. The newer type can fly further, more efficiently and quietly
than the -300 and has quickly proven extrememly popular with both
passengers and crews alike. With a non-stop operating range of six
hours, the Boeing 737-800 can operate on any of Jet2.com's
current schedule route pairings as well as being very attractive to the
charter market, either for regular or one-off charter flights.
A full onboard product can be offered on Boeing 737-800 flights, with
hot meal service, bar and duty free on appropriate flights.
